You'll Never Guess How Much a Piece of Prince William and Kate Middleton's Wedding Cake Sold For

Someone went to William and Kate's wedding and instead of letting themselves eat cake, they held onto it and sold it for $4,160 at a Beverley Hills auction. Only a few people know how a cake from London ended up in Los Angeles over two years later, but I have a theory. This is basically the next level of your little brother waiting until after you're done eaten your Halloween candy to eat his in front of you and make you crazy jealous. All those poor suckers at the wedding were chowing down on their royal cake, and all the while, one little schemer held onto a slice, trusting that the pay off would be worth it. And they were right. Kind of? I mean, it's a little weird to hold onto someone else's wedding cake for over two years, but whatevs.

The real question: Who bought it? Do you think one of Kate's ex-boyfriends is sobbing over it this very minute?
